"We are watching you"--
October 2012: a video goes viral on Youtube in which a girl uses flash cards to tell her story — it is the last time she is seen by the world and millions of people since then will forever know her name: Amanda Todd. It will take a mother’s courage and determination to dive into the dark web to finally unveil her daughter's real killer, and to ensure justice for all the others.
A current fundraiser auction to honor the 12th year anniversary of Amanda’s passing is ongoing from Oct. 1st-14th, 2024, to support funds for mental health awareness, cyberbullying, & exploitation, among others. The goal is $15,000, and reflecting on #JusticeforAmanda.

#LightUpPurple is a global awareness campaign in honor of Amanda on October 10th, World Mental Health Day. Please see (http://www.lightuppurple.com/ ) for more, and wear purple on October 10th.
